Did you test this?

I get the folllowing errors with this patch:
	scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldconfig Kconfig
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:521: syntax error
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:520: invalid statement
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:521: invalid statement
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:522: invalid statement
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:523: unknown statement "If"
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:524:warning: ignoring unsupported character '.'
	drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:524: unknown statement "CPU"
	make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:71: oldconfig] Error 1
	make: *** [Makefile:606: oldconfig] Error 2

I'll let you make the obvious fix and actually test it this time before
resending :)

thanks,
